For me soup means only tomato soup and sweet corn soup. Otherwise not a big fan of soup. Very rarely make soup at home and that's why it makes less appearance here in my blog too. But I should change. Take lots of soup this year. Good for health. Try tasting different soups from restaurants too, instead of the deep fried starters. Let me see how I am going to implement this. Vj is a great fan of this sweet corn soup. But I have tried only once when I started cooking and came out terrible. That recipe bit complicated. I wanted a simple and easy recipe for sweet corn soup and came up with this recipe. Hang on with this simple one, will be posting more interesting recipes…

Ingredients

Method

Clean the leaves and silk strands from the corn. Using a sharp knife, separate the corn kennels. Pressure cook with a cup of water and sugar. Reserve 2 –3 tblsp of corn for garnish.

Blend the rest well. I used my hand blender, if you are using a mixie, drain, reserve the water, and cool down and grind to a smooth paste. Strain it to remove the skin. This step is optional, but I do this always.

Add milk,the reserved corn kernels and bring to boil. Add the coriander leaves and if using green chillies, add it. Boil for 4 minutes and lastly add the corn flour dissolved in 2 tblsp of water. Boil until thick. Add salt and pepper generously and mix well. Garnish with the chopped spring onion if desired.

Notes

Green chilli adds a different flavour and taste which I like but Vj doesnt. So If you want you can add or omit.

I personally don't like any sauces like soy or chilli in this soup. So I dint add.

Yummy.. this is one of my fav soup after tomato soup.. I too am not fond of green chilli..I have made this once with creamed corn.. Will try your recipe next time with fresh corn. Thanks for sharing! Wishing you a very happy new year
